Larry Hollenbeck

We bought a new condo from Larry Hollenbeck (from Kalcer Group LLC.) at City Place Bella Vista View Condominium. Since we closed on the unit we've unfortunately had a lot of issues with Larry. At the time of closing, the condo was not 100% complete and Larry was more than agreeable at that time to put together a punchlist and complete the items afterwards. It's been 3 months since we closed and the work has not been completed yet. Larry is now reneging on the work he had previously agreed to do. He's been fighting us on everything from paint touch-ups to repairing the "new" hardwood flooring that has scratches/cracks (inflicted by him and his subcontractors) to redoing the tile in the master shower that he poorly installed in the first place. (The master shower tile is beginning to separate from the walls and the grout lines are cracking everywhere.) Larry thinks because he has money he can push everyone around. He's yelled and cursed at both my husband and me. He's even gone as far as threatening to sue us. I'm not quite sure what he can sue us for since he's the one that's not doing the work, but that should give you an idea of who we're dealing with. If you're looking to buy a property and Larry is the seller/developer, make sure you write down in detail absolutely everything you want in the purchase contract. If it's not in writing then it never happened. Heck, even if it is in writing Larry will renege against it. DO NOT CLOSE UNTIL YOU'RE 100% SATISFIED WITH THE PROPERTY. Otherwise you'll lose any leverage you may have. Also don't believe anything Larry says, he's a great salesman but not a man of his word. If you're interested in seeing photos of the issues we're having with Larry's workmanship, please Google or go to Facebook and search for City Place Bella Vista View Condos - Buyer Beware. Oh one last thing, we tried getting Kerry Keefer, his real estate agent involved in helping resolve the issues we're having however she has refused to be involved. And the reason why she doesn't want to get involved is that she's Larry's fiancee and Larry told her not to get involved. Talk about having a conflict of interest.
